What's the best fight you had against the police? How did it start? How did it end? How many participated? Would you do it again? What did you learn? Any tips?

My best cop fight happened at one of the first OWS protests in NYC. I was walking near the back with some of my friends when the cops closed in behind us. Then, a few cops came from the sides and cut our way to the front. We were boxed in. They started sandwiching us. We found a small alley and quickly ran inside. There we climbed the fire escapes, and as the cops came in the alley, we threw some rocks and firecrackers from the top. They made their way inside the alley, then suddenly a whole bunch of other protesters came in the street. They saw what we were doing and started throwing rocks at the cops from the street. The cops were boxed in! They finally fled the alley to the other street, and we came down and rejoined the main protest.

This is a post to celebrate the police brutality resistance from Occupiers. There's no entrapment here. Put your fears to rest. It's all about anarchy. Don't play into the US government's fear mongering tactics.

Riiiiight! Whatever you say boss. I know your a liar because I saw your post suggesting I'm a paid Dem plant. And of course I know I'm not. So if you would lie about that you would lie about this. Seems like a big deal being chased by the police, but you "don't remember" they alley.? And the police didn't shoot anybody?. Don't sound like my NYC police. And no rocks ain't easy to find. Not in this NYC. Perhaps you should change your story to trash. that you can find in all alleys.

"some guy"? Who? was he in an alley.? Liar!! Itis slander when you know it ain't true. I've been at protest for 35 yrs! And I remember all the places I've been picked and confronted up by the police! I've also been exploring this great city for fifty yrs, trash not rocks are easy to find sorry. I'm registered independent, will not vote for right wing wackos, but do believe we can co opt the dems. No need to pay me. It's my pleasure challenging republicans on this site and face to face. So lets dance motherf%$ker. Make my day! right wing wacko!

You have lost all sense of reality. Don't know what your talkin about. I know what anarchy is. What username of only numbers are you talkn about. Are you strokin? Lay down take a breath. We're just talkin. And we only disagree. Its all good. no reason to get upset.

The fact that you would associate the word great to obama only affirms to me that you are an imperialist and a warmonger. You must support his policies so you must support murder and shipping american jobs over seas while allowing foriegn corporations here to run absolutley wild and reduce the country to a third world state.

I am anti imperialist, I am anti war. I am against false comparisons between dozens of drone deaths, and millions slaughtered under Bush. Can't let those lies go unchallenged. Pres Obama has gone on the record that he wants jobs brought back to America. He has legislation to encourage it but your repubs have obstructed it. I also believe companies should be penalized if they off shore jobs. and they should be rewarded if they onshore. And finally your right wing wacky policies coddle corps (foriegn and dom) the dems only do that when they lose their backbone against the right. We (OWS) must protest to get the left back in line.

Why do you always end your posts with "got it?" or "get it?"......I doubt you really care if anybody understands your nonsense,nobody really can,however it just seems like you are trying to convince your own self of the bullshit you shovel.

Also no substance. Have you also given up?. If you can't discuss the issues that affect the 99%. You're just boring. The name calling insults schoolyard bullying tactics that your candidate Romney uses do not interest me. If you have no answer to my discrediting of your anti dem, pro repub propaganda you should just quit. I understand. You got nothin left. I have wore you out with the facts! The truth will set us free! You republican plant. Get it?
